After a long period of uncertainty, anime-style MMORPG Blue Protocol is set to meet players outside of Japan. After Bandai Namco canceled the game after a complicated process in Japan, China-based developer Bokura has taken over the project. Blue Protocol: Star Resonance It is being restructured under the name and will try its luck in the global market. It has been officially confirmed that the game will be released on both mobile and PC platforms.
Blue Protocol: A New Era Begins with Star Resonance
The original Blue Protocol disappointed many fans when it was shut down shortly after its Japanese release last year and was announced as not coming to the Western market. But that didn’t last long. China-based developer Bokura took over the project, bringing in some of the original development team and reviving the game under the name Blue Protocol: Star Resonance. This new version will now be playable in regions outside of Japan.
Stands Out with Cross-Platform Gaming Support
One of the most striking features of the new version is, cross-platform gaming support. Players will be able to play with the same character on both PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store) and mobile devices (iOS and Android) without interruption. This cross-platform support seems to create a significant advantage, especially in markets where mobile gaming habits are widespread, by allowing players to continue playing from any device.
The Complex Process and Restructuring in Japan
Originally planned to be brought to the West by Amazon Games, the original Blue Protocol release received mixed reception from Japanese gamers. Due to technical issues and player feedback, Bandai Namco decided to cancel the project, which allegedly resulted in significant staff losses for the company. However, Bokura's restructuring of the project has rekindled interest in the game.
Highlights of the New Version
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance aims to offer dynamic combat mechanics, anime-style wide-open world exploration, detailed character customization options, and advanced social systems. The social aspect of the game is strengthened with trade, guilds, and various community events, while aiming to offer players a wider range of interaction. Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is expected to be available worldwide this year. This rebirth is welcomed as a promising development for global players who have been waiting for a long time.
